Great Northern Brewing Company Super Crisp Lager is available for purchase in:
330 mL bottles, 375 mL cans (recently released 750 mL 'tallies')
Drinkers Review:
An easy to drink macro-lager produced by one of the big Australian brewers. There isn't a lot of character to be found in the beer, but it can be purchased quite cheap and beats most of the budget, mainstream mass-produced beers in the Australian market. It's a reasonable barbecue beer, and something mild for casual beer drinkers. Something worth considering if you are looking for a beer that slides down the throat easily without any real resistance or flavour to stop on the way down.
Something I probably won't go out of my way to get again, but if it's on sale I'd probably think about a carton for a party.

Beer, the goodness that froths and refreshes!
Thanks for reading.
I'd probably give the same rating. Macro, lager, AND small bottle? A definite nay for me!
It is good for cleaning the BBQ though. There are always benefits for poor beers.
Small bottles are pretty common place in Aus unless you get a 'tallie'...
excellent post. have you ever drinked the polar beer of venezuela?
Very cool can. I don't suppose I could find this beer in the USA.
No I don't think so. Probably not one worth searching for if it is!
May give this a try but I don't know when I will visit Australia again.
Loving the series Scotty.
This could go on forever, great stuff.
